You are the man and it was so awesome to listen to you talk about pumpkins in Germany. I tried your beer and it was great. Have a great season! Cheers   Monday, March 20 View Page Special shout out to Roger Grange and Gary Miller. What a pleasure and honor to spend the dinner shooting the breeze with you two. I left the convention pumped for the season. Also, great to see all of my other pumpkin friends, the convention was a smash!   Thursday, April 6 View Page Left to Right, 1641 Young, 1662 DeBacco x2, 1586 Sherwood, 2075.5 Connolly, 1910 Tobeck, 1868 Sherwood, 1405 Ewing x 2. I accidentally dropped the 2075 Connolly down the drain at work when I was soaking the seeds with paper towels. I had to ask the maintenance guy Randy, who is awesome, to take the sink apart. We found the 2075 in the u joint trapped in the pipes below the sink.   Saturday, April 29 View Page Special thanks to Ken D @ Big Pumpkins. I don't know where I'd be without your site. Thank you so much. I put in 4 plants this year, the 2075 Connolly, 1586 & 1868 Sherwood, and the 1641 Young. Heat underneath all plants. Rainiest Winter/spring in over 110 years in Washington State.   Monday, May 15 View Page 2075 Connolly a few days ago. Gage is becoming a fine young man / future grower.

Manure Man asked if I considered the Inbreeding factor, I told him there's other flowers in the patch, I just wanted to see the two back to back and see what they are made out of. I plan on crossing them with the 2075 and 1641. Manure Man can come up with some crazy stuff sometimes. Known him for 10 years now and still don't know what he's going to do next, and that's for real!   Saturday, June 3 View Page 2075 Connolly   Saturday, June 3 View Page 1641 Young   Saturday, June 3 View Page Left 1568 Sherwood, Right 1868 Sherwood   Friday, June 30 View Page 1586 sherwood x 2075 connolly   Saturday, July 1 View Page 2075 connolly x 1868 sherwood   Monday, July 3 View Page 1868 Sherwood x 2075 Connolly   Friday, July 7 View Page 1586 Sherwood x 2075 Connolly today.
